...long ago, few in Nepal believed Pushpa Kamal Dahal actually existed. The Maoist guerrilla leader was a creature of myth - no one knew what he looked like or in which mountain fastness he hid or quite how he and his fighters, ragtag and ill-equipped, had managed to plunge Nepal into a decade-long civil war that claimed 13,000 lives. But now all know Prachanda, the nom de guerre by which Dahal is more often referred, as not only a man of flesh and blood, but of suits and expensive pens. As results filter in from Nepal's April...
...Debate on Clean Energy While Michael Grunwald's cover story on the emerging ethanol industry was both chilling and truthful, it's damaging to demonize the global effort to develop clean fuels as "myth," "scam" and "hype" [April 7]. It is no myth that thousands of scientists and their teams are working feverishly to create biofuels from nonfood plants grown on land unsuitable for food production. The science is still young. We could not have landed on the moon without first launching a primitive plane at Kitty Hawk. But we will succeed. Mark Beyer, Detroit...
...More on Biofuels "The Clean Energy Myth" misses the mark [April 7].

...that the drive and independence of special concentrators is indicative of the considerable work they put into the process. But for students with a passion and pursuance, the end is well worth the means.“It is not like some whimsical thing—that is a myth,” Mladenova says. “The people who are there take it to a really high level...
